THE ATHLETICS DEFEATS THE PEABoDYs.
A liberal number of base ball enthusiasts
congregated at Athletic Park yesterday after
noon TO witness the base ball game between
the Athletics and Peabodys, and those present
were well rewarded for their visit, as the boys
gave an excellent exhibition of the national
game. Al the start the Peabody club appeared
TO have q walkover, and up to the ilfth inning
lead their opponents by a score of to 3. AT
this point. however, the Athletics rallied In
fine style and batted out six runs, hve OF
which were earned: This they supplemented
in the seventh by five additional runs, which
number had the effect OF utterly demoralizing
the Peabodys, and in consequence they were
forced to submit TO defeat.
Heavy batting was INDUCED In by both
teams, that of the Athletics. however, being
the most opporlune. The following Is the
score by inning:

The pay department of the United

In one case the guilty party had OBJ

Favored traders with licenses from the
Government enjoy the monopoly OF
commerce with about 100000 Indians
who hold l35,OOO,OOO acres of land as
reservations.
The Allotment in Seyeralty law pro
poses TO put these Indians, with the ex-
ception Of the five semi-ciyilized nations
upon farms Of their own, make them citi-
Eens and thus put an end to one of the
most preposterous and abominable sys-
TENS for the forcible degradation of a
race that was ever contriyed
After making citizens of 100000 of
black people who held no lands it does
seem preposterous not to have put the
Indians on different footing from mere
eleemosynary benefciaries of Govern
ment charity The present plans of the
Interior Department will break up the
tribal relations of the Indian, and his
civilization must be accomplished accord
ing TO Anglo Saxon ideas.

II those who discuss a settlement of the
State debt would only look at matters just
as they are, solution Of the States
difficulties could soon be reached. Dis
cussions are utterly misleading which
are not based upon the actual facts.
When we have clearly comprchendcd
these, then we know just what we have
to consider $14,23O,321 Of the States
bonds bear 6 per cent. interest per annum,
and have tax-receiyable coupons to re-
present that interest SI303O0O of her
bonds bear an average interest of A per
cent and have tax-recciyable coupons 10
represent that interest These are hard,
stubborn facts and any discussion of the
subject that ignores them is simply vain
and futile
We start out therefore, with this fact
before MS, that the State has out bonds
for $21 ,C23,321 that yield am annual crop
Of coupons amounting to Sl,1Gs,O22
What is the inyariable practice of those
who have to deal with an insolyent's
affairs. They first make provision for
the secured debts, and then provide as
VIII as they can for those which are I'M
secured Why should not the State
recognize the hard, stubborn facts of her
situation, and proceed in dealing with
it as all persons DO when settling an i'm
solvents estatey Why does She not q st
settle with those Of her creditors who
have tax-receiyable coupons, and, there
fore, means of enforcing payment of
their claims, and then deal with her un-
secured creditors as well as the situation
will permit The holders of these $2l =,
3,32l bonds offer TO reduce their annual
interest from $116s.022 to $706 23i, and
to allow her to pay off the principal Of
$2l.G23,32l with $l1G92 s3l at her
pleasure.
1t is conceded by all Of her own COM
missioners that she has $4,000 of sur:
plus revenue that she can apply to inter
est This pays the secured creditors
what they are willing to take and leaves
over $4,000 to deal with the others with.
The obvious dictate Of common sense is
to close with the secured creditors, and
to say to the unsecured, 81 can not now
do all for you that ought in conscience
to do, but give me a little breathing tim"
ard | will do full justice by you. No
shall have all that is left over after ! .age

tors and as my revenues increase ! will

This is the course Of individuals when
embarrassed why should not the State
do the same thing

THE RIGHT KEY.

Pending the consideration Of the Rhea
constitutional amendment Mr. McCOr
mick made vigorous argument in oppOsi-
tion to the amendment "The bondholders
ers have vested rights, he said, (which the
Legislature has no more right or power to
interfere with than to destroy the effect OF
private debt or the possession Of real
estate. He closed by saying he would
vote against the amendment because he
thought it was idle, vain, obnoxious, un-
wise, inexpedient, impolitic, and uncon-
stitutional and he desired to leave to his
children some better legacy than that theiI
father AS a representative Of the people
voted to destroy the honor Of the State
which would cause them forever to hang
their heads in shame

sELF-INTEREsT VERSUS POLITICS.

For so many years has Virginia been
involved in death struggle against rad
calism that at this moment the people
have not seen the mistake Of identifying
their opposition to Mahoneism with ideas
that politicians want to carry, merely to
make a sensation with which TO beat their
opponents.
Let us see what the political idea of
the debt question really is.
No. IA cry against the creditors
No. "A wall about poverty.
Now, what matters it to the mass Of
voters, this howl against the enemies
Of the State" The creditors are merely
creditors who want only part Of their
money, just like any other creditors
would
And when we refuse to pay what they
ask, the world naturally eXclaims "Why,
Virginia won't pay her debts and herpeo
pie plead poverty. What is the use of
taking capital there? We'd rather 90 to
Georgia and Alabama" And they do.
Now for the cry Of poverty. What
matters it to the poor man to rel udiate
the debt Does il better his condition :?
Quite the contrary Itkeeps the North
ern capital ont which would enrich the
State and benefit every poor man in it.
Does paying the debt hurt the poor
man
Not the least il benefits him lie does
not pay the taxes. Then why should he
be mustered to give offices to politicians
and keep on voting for the thing that
makes his condition worse every year
Why not vote to make the rich men
pay the taxes and let the poor men get
the benefit Of #? As for the rich man
self-interest it is not necessary to explain
it, for he knows that the good name Of the
State is a good name to himself, and is
worth so much improvement TO his bust
ness.
